      I don't understand why people cannot accept that the Sentinelese want to be left alone. In a lot of ways they have a better lifestyle than the modern world. Certainly, their general health is probably better. They want to be left alone - leave them alone!
      As for a Christian guy wanting to convert them. Well, look at the harm that has been done by religious missionaries to native communities the world over for centuries. It is annoying that people have to push their views or beliefs on others instead of just accepting other peoples beliefs and that those people are happy as they are.
      As far as I am concerned, religious beliefs are a personal and individual issue, not much different from your favourite colour, UA-cam channel, music and so on. No one would like to be told that they have to like a certain colour, watch certain channels, listen to certain music. The same goes for religion. What you believe is your personal choice. If the world would recognise that instead of forcing whole communities to change their beliefs then we might start to see a lit bit more peace. Acceptance is the key.

      I was thinking about this too! They were probably in contact with the other tribes of the Andaman Islands until the British took over. (The Onge tribe has a name for them but by the time anyone thought the bring Onge people there, they couldn't understand the dialect Sentinelese spoke.) So they probably think they are the last bastion of freedom from the rule of those Invaders. It'd be fascinating to know what the children returned to the island told the others about "civilization". I can't imagine how strange everything would be, especially through the eyes of a child watching their elders die. We must be the boogey men of their children's nightmares. And if convicts and drunk fisherman wash up on the beach sometimes, maybe they are correct in thinking it's best to shoot first and ask questions later.
      I am Catholic and though I am not practicing anymore, we hold that the souls of those who die without ever knowing of Jesus (like people born before He was born in Bethlehem) do not go to Hell nor Heaven. I think God is protecting them. Certainly the reef has for centuries. And who put the reef there if not God or a god?

Then he would do that but would send floating packages towards the tribesmen. Pretty soon his assistant, who was female, actually was able to go ashore and there are pictures of her with the Islanders and even hugging a few children. But then the man retired, his research stopped and that was the end of that which I found to be too bad as the North Sentinelese probably thought they had been abandoned as the professor's cautious approach had been over many years.

    There are a lot of things left out of this video. In their living memory the Sentinelese experienced war by colonial powers over their island and numerous outbreaks of deadly diseases from repeated attempts at contact. They have apparently salvaged the Primrose and are using metal tools now.
    They do occasionally trade with the South Sentinelese but even that's not a good idea. They have been seeing ships for 200 years and know that they are just big boats the outsiders have. They most likely assume that planes, satellites, and space stations are also outsider vehicles.
    They are people and they're smart. They know that contact means strange technology as well as devastating plagues, and have rightly concluded that it's better to stay isolated. They are fascinating and it would be nice to know them better but we ruined any chance at that long ago.

      Thank you for sharing this, I am now going to look into Triloknath Pandit. I hope we are moving towards a time where modern societies stop trying to modernise traditional people. We've lived for hundreds of years in an age of colonisation, from the Romans to the British Empire, assuming that the colonisers way of life is the better and bending people to adopt their religion and way of life, but we are now seeing a movement of Aboriginal people who are being educated and shown the modern world turning their backs and preferring their traditional lives. We need to find a better balance of offering things like modern medicine and education without demanding acceptance of all modern living. I have read a couple stories of Amazonian young adults going to cities to get educated in everything from Law to Agriculture so that they can take that knowledge back to their tribes, and I think that is something that should be more praised and encouraged. Papua New Guinea is a mess right now because of the imbalance of trying to modernise deeply tribal people, a lot of whom would have preferred to be left alone. Modern society needs to end its God complex. These people don't need Jesus, they need peace and if they find their peace in being left alone, then leave them alone.

    This was very interesting! The fact that they laughed at John when he repeated their chants make me curious as to what those chants meant? Maybe they laughed because he mispronounced everything? Or maybe the chant was "go away or we will kill you!" and so when John shouted it back they laughed wondering how one man could threaten them in their own language. Something to think about.

Despite countless warnings from friends, family and locals, he decided that his own desires were more important than an entire people's way of life and made it his mission to force a new way of life onto them.
